"Its time to fess up. The weight of the evidence is that these soothing tales we tell ourselves and one another do not reflect what is really going on.
The New York Times reports, Aides said there was no grand strategy to the presidents actions, and that he got up each morning this week not knowing what he would do. This week? How about every week?
He doesnt play chess of any dimension nor is he cleverly distracting us from one calamity with another. He acts out because he lacks the knowledge, discipline, perspective and decency to behave otherwise. Yes, wed rather be led by any of the teenage speakers on the March for Our Lives stage who know what they dont know and have a good grasp of civics than the current Oval Office inhabitant. Goodness knows the teenagers are more respectful and concerned about their fellow citizens than Trump is."

Sympathy needle probably didn't budge much then, either.
